We've seen the likes of Flowers and Cannon in recent years...so who do you all think (or hope) is next?
My HOPE is that Malcom Brown takes a big leap, and lives up to his 1st round selection by being a dominant player. He hasn't been bad, just would like to see him play at a high level more consistently.. especially because the Pats having a 1st round pick isn't exactly a thing that happens on a year-to-year basis.
Thuney and Roberts are two guys who come to mind as well.
Thuney had a fairly decent first year, and has received solid reviews from the coaching staff as far as potential. I don't know if he's the next Mankins like some have said, but he looks like someone who could become a dependable starter for years to come.
Roberts' play seemed to dip after having a good run earlier in the season. Outside of IOL depth, having another consistent ILB has been a concern. The second worst doomsday scenario for this 2017 team in my opinion (other than losing the GOAT) would be losing Hightower to injury for the year. Hopefully Roberts can show he's capable of handling a greater role.
Thoughts?
